Homer creates Achilles as the only character in the poem to challenge the warrior code: “the same fate is for the man who holds back, the same if he fights hard. We are all held in one honor, the brave with the weak” (9. 318-319). Immediately after opposing Dekay and rejecting Agamemnon's offers, Achilleus again defies the typical code and denies that one man can achieve more honor than another man. Achilleus evolves in a mysterious way compared to the other men in the poem; he begins as the typical warrior seeking honor and glory, but as the text progresses his attitude changes completely. Achilleus tests Dekay again after killing Hector in battle and dragging his body across the ground from his chariot: "But instead of returning the corpse to the Trojans, in his continuing anger at the loss of Patroklos he drags it every day around the city , bound by the feet of his chariot" (Mt 13). Throughout the text the characters often strip the warriors of their armor and leave them to be eaten by the birds, but they never abuse a corpse by dragging it under their chariots, especially not men. as tall in stature as Hector. When men of great stature die, they are often recovered and properly buried. Again, contrary to common practice, Achilleus contrasts greatly with the rest of the men in the poem anger at getting the better of him, but manages to remain unique by raising his anger to a higher level than everyone else.
